It appears even nerds don't like gay people. A survey out of The University of Illinois - "The Gaymer Survery - finds that 52% of the 10,000 respondents think that gay gamers face discrimination. It's a tragic situation, one researcher Jason Rockwood hopes his findings will help alleviate:

Gay gamers experience a double-edged sword of prejudice. The mainstream gay culture and media is not supportive of video games. Then you have the video game culture that is not supportive of gay culture... I'm hoping this survey would shed some light on how or why people go through such a process.

But, kidding aside, we're totally serious when we say we're sorry for anything negative we've ever said about you gaymers. We had no idea you had things so rough. It sounds like a virtual nightmare.

The survey also found that gaymers are more likely to choose attractive avatars than their hetero counterparts. Good to know you kids are just as superficial as the rest of us...
